On the way back to the ship, Sabae pulled Talia aside so that they trailed the others.

“You should be careful not to interrupt Hugh and Avah,” Sabae said. “They were having a moment last night before you dragged them back into the conversation.”

Talia gave her an odd look. “Are you still trying to make that happen? I’m not sure what Hugh even sees in her, other than her looks. He barely knows her. And she’s only interested in him because she thinks he’s a great mage— before the sandstorm, she only had eyes for Godrick.”

Sabae rolled her eyes at Talia. “I doubt he’d really need more than her looks— have you looked at that girl? And, to her credit, she’s actually friendly and interesting. And she thinks Hugh is a great mage because he is.”

Talia started to open her mouth again, but Sabae cut her off. “Even if she didn’t have anything else going for her, I’d still tell you to give them space,” Sabae said. “This is the first time we’ve seen Hugh withdraw from his shell enough to actually notice anyone romantically. Even if nothing happens, this will be good for him. It’s hardly the first time a pair of teenagers have started falling for each other out of shallow reasons, Talia.”

Talia’s expression was still doubtful, but she nodded. “If you say so.”

Sabae clapped her on the back. “Let’s see if we can get Alustin to let us stop by a bakery on the way back.”

Talia grunted irritably.
